John 1:16 - From the fullness of his grace
we have all received one blessing after another.
| | |
| | Greetings! |  This year has been filled with Gods blessings because of his Grace. We are grateful for God's grace on all of us. Pressing on, we desire to see God's blessing poured out here in Slovenia, especially in the hearts of those who believe (those who will believe) and especially the hearts of the next generation. Please join us as we press on toward this goal.
| | Stories - English Camp 2009 | Stories have great impact on us. We are drawn to stories of peoples' lives and encouraged to hear the faithfulness of God. This year's theme for English Camp is just that - STORIES! We will be presenting the Story of God. Our desire is to share the Story of Christ in an unoffensive way. We desire for the students to look at the scenes of their own lives and see how God wants to impact not only the end of the story, but each chapter of their personal story as well. In April we as a team will be fasting each day seeking God and asking Him to prepare us, the teams from the States and Ireland that will partner with us, and the students that will be coming. If you would like to be a part of the story of this year's English Camp by fasting and praying send us a note and we will gladly send you more information.
Pray for Terry as he manages the immense project of English Camp 2009 that will be impacting 11 different Eastern European countries this summer. This includes the training and sending of 50 summer interns.
I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness Colossians 1:25

| | EDZ - Jr High on the Edge |  With the goal of forming a group of students into a group where there is an environment of trust, they feel safe and belong we meet weekly at our home. This group is formed mostly from our Junior High camp last summer and Blake Patty's friends. Many of the youth, who we did not know before last summer, have remained in the group. We labor together with 3 Slovenes (Gasper, Neja, and Meta) to reach out to these kids. Our desire is to see these students attend camp again this year, and to continue and deepen our relationships with them throughout their Junior High and High school years. Our ultimate goal is that somewhere in this process they will know Him.
...and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:19
| Slovenia Camps and Next Generation Leaders
|  Seven different Churches from America will be joining us to pull off 8 camps across Slovenia. This year a performing arts camp will be added to widen the base of interest.
Forming the core of our evangelism emphasis, English Camps are key to the future of the church here in Slovenia. As well as evangelism, these camps serve as platforms for training the young Slovene believers in leadership, discipleship, evangelism, and team work. Many of these camps are lead by our Slovene next generation leaders who have been a part of a discipleship program - KRIZ. Among these are: Sebastian, Glorija, Katarina, Andrej, Nina, Miso, Gasper, Mateja, Meta, Anja, Matic, Naja, Anna, Marco, Polona, Maja, Andreja, Barbara, Maja. Many of these were not believers when we moved here and have become Christians through our English Camp ministry and are in turn giving back to their church, communities and country.
...until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Ephesians 4:13
| Crikvinca - Church Retreat
| Each Spring our Church hosts a retreat on the beautiful Croatian Coast. This time is meant for the encouragement of the Body and for outreach to friends.
April 3-5, we will be encouraged in the Word by John MacMurray on the theme "Opportunities in Time of Crisis". John has been an integral part of our English camps and Training Programs (KRIZ) and will now come to be an encouragement to our whole church body.
This weekend often includes several baptisms. Pray for the students who desire to be baptized as many of their parents actively deter them from following through on this commitment to identify with Christ.
And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Ephesians 1:22-23

| | Colossians 2:9-12
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. In him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
Knowing our fullness comes from Christ and we are full of love and appreciation for you and rejoice in our fullness together with you who partner with us.
| Fully trusting the fullness Christ brings,
Terry and Lori Jackson
